Sorry for the delay in posting the next chapter of the story. Been away at a wedding. So in 'real life' Hollyoaks Jen is now an evil bitch who is about to be humiliated and loose her job. I watched the beach scene again yesterday and its really sad how this couple couldn't have worked out for the best. The on screen chemistry was amazing - totally believable. unlike Tilly and Esther. In my opinion Esther seems too childlike for Tilly after Jen! Anyway, will try and post another chapter tonight.

TILLY

Luckily the snow had indeed melted enough off the side roads for Tilly to be able to make the journey home in time for her parents Return. Jen had also decided to leave the cottage, a day early than originally planned, as the place wouldn't have been the same without Tilly there. The two of them followed each other in their cars, stopping at a service station for refreshments and a quick kiss in the toilets! Jen was worried how they would be able to control their urges when they were both back at college, but as they had discussed, they would work it out. They weren't going to risk losing each other again.

As Tilly sat behind the wheel of her car, following Jen's jeep home she started counting the number of days until they would be able to 'come clean'. Tilly would be on exam leave in three weeks time and then the exams would be over in just over two months time. In 71 days time she would have sat her final exam and have officially left Hollyoaks 6th form. She needed to get three A's in order to secure her place at the University College London. Tilly was so excited about going to Uni, especially now that she had decided on London. Sure her parents had been disappointed when she had told them she was going to decline the offer at Cambridge. What parent wouldn't love to be able to boast that their child had been excepted at one of the most prestigious universities in the world. In the end, it was that prestige that turned out to be the thing that put Tilly off. The stuffiness of tradition, of centuries of rituals, rules that needed to be followed or else you were fined! Going to university was partly about learning new life experiences, being able to spread your wings... Not have them clipped!

London - and UCL had instantly felt right. Tilly felt that it would give her a better balance of what she wanted out of Uni. Ucl had amazing facilities, but also, as she was in the heart of London, it didn't mean that everything Tilly did would centre around the Uni. There were so many other options rather than just the Student Union bar. The museums, galleries, theatres, shops, bars, cafes, parks not to mention the gay scene! Tilly just pictured herself in London so much more easily than she did at Cambridge. Cambridge would be fun for a weekend - punting along the river, riding a bike along the narrow streets, enjoying the peace ... Ahhhhh, Tilly thought, there would be plenty of time to do those things later in life. Right now, life was for living!

And living meant being with Jen. Gorgeous Jen Gilmore, her maturer girlfriend who she was following home in the car in front. Home to what, Tilly wasn't quite sure. She had been relieved that the snow had stopped and thawed enough to be able get home before her parents got back from their Easter break, but she was also sad at their time coming to an end. Tilly had discussed the future options with Jen and it was agreed that they would limit the number of occasions they were physically together as much as possible. The very thought of not seeing Jen made Tilly ache, but they had very little option. They had set aside every other weekend in which they would meet, and in between they would Skype each other in the evenings and share each others news. It would, Tilly had said to Jen selling the proposal to her, be the same as a long distance relationship ... Only without the distance! It was also the safest option going, and after the expelled situation, safe was important to them both.

Tilly started to feel sad as the roads started to look familiar and she realised they were only a few miles from home. At a red traffic light she saw Jen look in her rear mirror, back at Tilly and blow a kiss. Tilly pretended to grab the kiss, and place it on her own lips. She was about to return the gesture, when a honk of a horn from a car behind them, alerted them both to the fact that the lights had changed, and they continued their journey home to Hollyoaks.

JEN

Jen stopped the car around the corner from the minimart and pulled on the hand break. Looking in her rear view mirror, she watched as Tilly pulled up behind her. Jen grabbed her phone and sent Tilly a text message:

I miss you already, but I know we HAVE to... and CAN do this! Love you so much Tilly Evans. X

Jen's eyes never left the rear view mirror as she watched Tilly tap a response. Her phone buzzed as the message from Tilly came through:

I love you too. It's been an amazing Easter, I'll just have to use my imagination and memories to get me through all the lonely nights!

Jen smiled and quickly tapped:

Errrr... who said your nights would be lonely? The power of Skype! :) I may not be there in person, but my words will be. Jen did a quick check of her surroundings to make sure no one was around, before she quickly pulled her top down over her shoulder so that her bra and a good portion of her breast was on show, before tacking a picture. She added this to her text message with the sentence:

... Words, AND images :oO!

She pressed send and then watched Tilly's face respond with delight as she read the message.

Ohhh two can play that game, came the response and the picture attached was an old one of Tilly in a bikini, clearly taken from abersoch. Jen opened the message and felt a surge of desire, and when she looked back in the rear mirror she was Tilly wink at her. This was getting dangerous Jen thought, but she didn't want it to end.

Wow - Jen responded - you are so sexy. Meet me tonight at the shack 8pm. Not sure I'm ready just yet for our cyber sex dates...I need the real thing ... to be able to touch what's under the bikini! X

Can't wait came the response. With that Jen turned on her engine and drove home back to Diane's and Sinead's. It was 4pm. She had four hours to kill before she got to kiss, touch, taste Tilly again. The thought made Jen blush with excitement. Roll on 8pm.
